Guys,
I have been in this forum for over a year and I think its the best Audi Forum yet! My car is approaching what I consider as "Perfect" status and I would like to share its story with you.
It started out 2 years ago in 2007 May when I got my A3. I didnt want to do anything to it as it was already an expensive car for me. All the changes it had was 18in RS4 reps. One thing led to another....
Then I started... first with an MTM stage I remap... Then I found out that the brakes weren't good enough for 250bhp. so I went for this...Brembo 6 pot from a Cayenne and 345mm slotted disks
Then I didnt like the really bland looking non S line front end so I added an OSIR front lip and an Oettinger Rear wing (and a S line badge which I later removed).
Well of course for more power I added an Oettinger Ram air intake and the Oettinger Turbo Outlet pipe. I really like the combo as the top end has improved without sacrificing low end.
Several months later I was bored of the car again and needed more power (I am falling into a black hole) and the means to tame that power. I just had to upgrade the suspension and exhaust. I chose PSS10 and Miltek TBE. I am still in love with the Miltek because its so quiet and stealth!!
I also changed my Chip from the MTM to Revo stage II because MTM does not offer the stage II alone and Revo is so much better with the Select Plus!! Power is expected to be in the area of 270bhp now.
Of course thanks to the Devils in this forum the stock non s line look just did not cut it and I HAD to go with the S3 front bumper and grill and the S3 mirror covers! I also installed HID and Lens. This is crazy but I am loving it!
Next of course came the 09 Facelifted rear LED lights!
I also fitted Carbon Textured interior and exterior trim peices.
This is what it looks like before the K04 Install with shaved badges.
Contintued in Part II!!
